Clay Health Update

Welcome to your monthly update for everything Clay County Public Health Center. As your nationally-accredited local health department, our vision is to empower all people in Clay County to lead healthier lives.

Pool Safety & Excellence

Many community pools and spraygrounds opened safely for the season over Memorial Day weekend, thanks to the hard work and partnership of local pool operators and Clay County environmental health inspectors.

Every year, Clay County Public Health Center recognizes recreational water facilities, which includes pools, spraygrounds and spas, that excel in safety. For 2022, 34 facilities received a Pool Quality of Excellence Award by successfully following the Clay County Rules and Regulations for Pools/Spas, exhibiting pool quality and safety practices and achieving exceptional inspection results during the calendar year.

In 2022, the Environmental Health Protection section of Clay County Public Health Center conducted 445 recreational water inspections. This year’s award winners represent 29% of Clay County regulated recreational water facilities.

Summer School Immunization Clinics

This summer, Clay County Public Health Center staff will offer immunization clinics at some area schools. These clinics are a great way to beat the back-to-school rush that takes place at the end of summer and helps your child get the required and recommended immunizations they may need.

Students must be going into 8th or 12th grade, attend a school within the same district as the host school, be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and be registered for an appointment at least one week in advance.
